Re: Your captcha is broken

I signed onto my Google account and tested it by writing an episode. About Captain America smoking weed. It went through absolutely normally. No problems. I also created an episode to see how the re-captcha system worked. It looks like the same system my natural gas provider uses when I forget my p...

Episode Limit - Days

I noticed that the maximum number of days that one can search back, when one uses the "episodes created within in the last x days", is 99. That is not a big deal. This is the first time that I noticed it.

Back for an Evening

Real life has gotten in the way, and I have not had the powers of concentration to write quality episodes in the last three or four years. I wrote a few short episodes tonight. I still visit the site and read the other contributions from time to time.

The Spam is Back

It looks like we have more spam.

I can work with the assumption that the goblet is off the island. I have to admit that I skimmed the early parts of the story. Had it been determined in a previous episode what Astra is (or is not) wearing? I cannot find it. I want to make sure that I am not having her put something in a pouch or po...

I would agree with that. And there is also a chance that Astra could just find the goblet in the course of doing something else in the palace.

I also like the comments idea, but I can imagine comments being abused for commercial spam or general Internet trolling nastiness. The NEQ has not gone to seed in part because of timely moderation, and in part because the regular authors are grown-up in the ways that count. One thing that I would li...

Some Scattered Thoughts

I think that one of the things that makes the site work is that it has the right number of authors working on stories at a given time. If a single author makes a contribution and nobody responds, the site dies. If there were suddenly an influx of one hundred authors, our moderator would be overwhelm...

Scattered thoughts on the Time Traveler (1914)

I am not sure how strict the dress codes of a restaurant in a good hotel would have been. Josh might have a problem getting in. I do remember from the O. Henry short stories that oyster bars appeared frequently, and I remember reading somewhere that they were the equivalent of hamburger stands today...

I hope that I will be able to find time to contribute to a couple of episodes.

107776 - The Time Traveler

Some notes on this story. I assumed that the Time Traveler (TT) would be from around London, based on the H.G. Wells book. I am assuming that the Time Traveler wants to blend in to his surroundings, which are in some generic English-speaking city, probably in the United States. A possible cover stor...

Thanks for the observation. I made some slight adjustments so that the episodes are consistent. I did leave in the option with the clerk at the store appearing, although now she follows Josh to the Staircase Room.

106993: February 9, 1999

Tuesday, February 9, 1999 is the date on the first episode of the NEQ. Other things that were happening around that time: The U.S. Senate went into a closed door session in Bill Clinton's impeachment trial. There were some big floods on Mindanao Island in the Philippines. The USA Network announced t...

I think that steingewesers might have emotions, but would react in different ways than humans. For example, they might have a form of the fear of the dark. But they are relatively indestructible, so they would be naturally less excitable and impulsive than humans. And some of the ways that we show e...
